I remember those summer nights
It was warm, the air was thick
Comforting: it felt like a hug
Like a kind voice, whispering,
"Everything is okay"
Everything is okay

I remember those summer nights
Home after a long day
A long day, but one I'd cherish
I was exhausted, but I was happy
I has home, and not just physically
Everything is okay

I remember those summer nights
It was midnight, and I was wide awake
My mind was spinning, creating, exploring
Spiraling down into worlds I'd created
I was lost in my mind, in my stories
And I was happy
Everything is okay

In this bleak midwinter
I remember those summer nights
Those warm summer nights everything was okay
On these winter nights
I remember the summer days
A beacon of hope
In this endless darkness
I remember, and I look forward

Everything will be okay

This is a poem I wrote at about midnight one night in January. It started as missing marching band, then expanded to include all the writing I usually do in the summer. But yeah, it's mostly about band.
This isn't going to turn into a lyrical song, but I started writing a flute duet based on this premise.
